Something to consider if you're purchasing merch during #PrideMonth.
If you're buying art or books from LGBTQIA+ creators,
see if they sell direct to the public!
(Again, then queer creators get a bigger cut than if they're profit-sharing with stores).
I'm glad people CAN purchase LGBTQIA+ merch from big stores these days, but as an LGBTQIA+ business owner who staffs queer people, if you have the spare moment to look for queer small business in June, 100% of that money goes toward queer survival, versus a 10% tax write off for big corporations.
